Backgammon - Lord of the Board 17+

Predictable

I’d have to agree with ‘Rigged Rip Off’ review. At risk of sounding like a disgruntled loser, I feel the need to mention the obvious. There’s nothing random about the roll of these dice. As with most dice games there’s a certain amount of luck involved and despite having a good grasp of the game, skill doesn’t count. It’s pretty predictable just when you have yourself set to take out your opponent and there’s only one specific combination of two numbers that will see your opponent escape, those two numbers will magically appear. This happens for and against. The algorithm is never more clearly visible than when leaving your base no, 5 uncovered. 9 times out of 10 your opponent will roll a five. A tad predictable and I can’t help but wonder if I paid to play would the odds be stacked more in my favour. I accept that it’s rigged to make money for its developers and use it to practice for real 1:1 games with friends on my board.

I'm sorry that you feel this way,Arnhemcat. We keep our game fair for every one of our players equally by implementing an RNG system.
Our developers created a sophisticated RNG technology which is approved by the WBGF (World Backgammon Federation)
The outcome of the game is based on luck and skill only!
Great day and good luck!

This game is rigged

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! DO NOT BUY MONEY! MOST OPPONENTS ARE BOTS THAT ACHIEVE THE LUCKIEST ROLLS I’VE EVVVERRRRR SEEN. I was initially excited to play this game as the beginner phase was at least fair and graphics are nice. Once I got to the advanced board... oh no my friend, rude awakening. The double button and roll button are wayyy too close to each other, making it extremely easy to double your losses which is almost a guarantee. The opponent (most definitely bots, try not using the same picture for different people DB’s) achieved things I did not even think possible. Want to play a game where your perfect strategy is ruined by 5 consecutive high doubles while you roll a 1-2 four times in a row?! Play this game! If it happened once, ok stuff happens. But multiple times?! In the same day?! Bottom line he game is flat rigged. You WILL lose and lose big to obviously loaded dice. Look at all the negative reviews and avoid at all costs. The dice algorithm is absolutely cooked. If you’re miles ahead, prepare to see double after double after double. If you’re on the bar looking at 3 open spaces, you can almost forget about getting in.
If you are new to backgammon, stay far away because this is NOT how the game is played. I have played my last game on this app, and I hope many of you will be soon to follow.

Hi D2ny2010,
Thank you for your review.
We can assure you that our dice are based on the most progressive engines that are constantly being tested and were proven to be very reliable. These engines make sure that each dice roll is random. The outcome isn’t predictable and depends solely on your skills and luck. Wishing you plenty of good luck.

It’s good BUT !! :(

Great look with boards .... and game play many options .... and I love to play backgammon BUT ... BUT ... BUT .... the game is rigged.... and when you work it out it’s very obvious .... even my 12 year old daughter can see that it is rigged .... you can beat the odds that are stack against you if you realise you are not just playing another player to win but a rigged dice as well ... and there are tricks to beat the rigged dice of the other player :) .... the glitches are there if you look past the fact that it is a board game and remember that it is a program .... I’ve never paid for coins and I never will .... I backgammon.... and I think the team that put this together have done well .... just remember what I said above and you will enjoy it too ...
